As organizations look to more effectively serve their clients on a global scale, they are increasingly gathering insights from around the world. Whether it is Australia, India, China, or South America, insights from these areas, as well as others, are helping drive key decisions. Because these insights are becoming more valuable than ever, the quality of the data being gathered has become a focal point.

Editor's Notes
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to today’s webinar, Top 5 Tips for Better Global Sample . My name is Emma Nicolls and I will the moderator for today’s webinar. (Next Slide)
Just a few housekeeping items before we get started.
We Should be no more than an 35-45 minutes. we want to be mindful of everyone’s time
Everybody is currently muted. I am going to keep it that way for the webinar.
If you have any questions, please enter them into the Q&A box – we will try and answer all of them at the end of the webinar.
We are recording the webinar today, and a copy of the recording will be sent out to you in the next couple days.
Now, let me introduce you to today’s presenter, Rory Dineen. Rory is an assistant director of client services with EMI. She has led global sampling for a top 5 market research firm during her time here, and has sourced and fielded over 500 global projects.
You may also know her as the host of the web series, Global Sampling With Rory.
No with no further adieu, let me turn it over to Rory.
Difference between North America and Western Europe
Increase in uncovering insights in countries outside North America and Western Europe
Areas of growing interest for market researchers:
Australia
India
China
South America
Not every country has the high internet penetration as the United States, and this needs to be kept in mind when you are trying to determine feasibility
Example: Need help – low penetration among population
Penetration is not the only aspect you should keep in mind, how people access the internet is just as important
Many countries with relatively high internet penetration have skipped the internet access by computer stage and jumped right to mobile access. This needs to be kept in mind when you are setting quotas, or establishing guidelines around how respondents access your survey.
Other countries may have more censorship around the internet and you may see people access the internet more through VPN or other similar systems.
This really goes hand in hand with how people access your survey. By designing your survey to be accessed on any device (computer, tablet, smartphone) you won’t be excluding any potential respondents.
This can be important as well in terms of the opinions you collect from respondents. We have found in our research on the sample industry that responses, opinions and behaviors differ in respondents based on the device they use.
Taking a survey in a language that is not your native tongue can be hard, especially if you are asked to provide detailed feedback about your opinions. Respondents could struggle to use the right word to describe their feelings, leading you to get data that is not entirely accurate.
Be sure your questions are in the native language. The best way to do this is to get it translated by a native speaker – they know all the nuances of the language.
This is probably the most important tip and a 2-pronged approach should be used.
First, make sure you are working with a sample partner that not only understands the sample industry, but has a strong quality control process in place. (Add additional details)
This can include using tools to screen out fraud, bots, identify bad respondents, etc.
Second, work with your sample partner to establish a quality control check prior to launch to know what to consider a valid response and what may be considered a bad response. Having this established upfront can save a lot of time from screening data and having to potentially re-open studies at the end.
Data Quality / SWIFT
SWIFT drives all our data quality efforts. It is our sample management platform where we connect sample providers from our network to your survey
Incorporates the industry best digital fingerprinting technology to help eliminate duplication and so we can be as transparent as possible about where your respondents are coming from.
Also include advanced bot and fraud detection to help identify and eliminate fraudulent respondents and bots before they ever enter your survey.
We also have Data scrubbing capabilities to help run your responses through while in field and after wards as an added layer of data quality
Finally GEO-IP tracking is built into SWIFT so we can block people from areas that aren’t suppose to be accessing your survey.
I want to go ahead and open it up to questions. Again as a reminder, if you have any questions, please enter them into the question and answer box.
